  • a method of controlling the application of LBRM through an MCS configuration may be applied differently according to a stand-alone (SA) operation or a non-stand alone (NSA) operation in a system after 5G.
  • SA stand-alone
  • NSA non-stand alone
  • the application of LBRM is controlled through the MCS configuration, but in case of a communication system or network to which the NSA operation method is applied, the control on whether to apply LBRM through the MCS configuration may not be applied.
  • the application of LBRM is controlled through the MCS configuration, but in case of a communication system or network to which the SA operation method is applied, the control on whether LBRM is applied through the MCS configuration may not be applied.
  • the application of LBRM is controlled through the MCS configuration for all of SA/NSA operation methods, specific rules may be defined differently.
  • the SA operation is a method in which a first cellular network (e.g., legacy network) and a second cellular network (e.g., 5G network) are independently operated
  • the NSA operation is a method in which the first cellular network and the second cellular network are connected to each other and are operated. When two networks are connected and operated, it means that at least one network controls the operation of the other network.
  • a computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs (software modules) may be provided.
  • One or more programs stored in the computer readable storage medium are configured for execution by one or more processors in an electronic device.
  • One or more programs include instructions for causing an electronic device to execute methods according to embodiments described in claims or specifications of the disclosure.
  • Such programs may be stored in a random access memory, a non-volatile memory including a flash memory, a read only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), a magnetic disc storage device, a compact disc-ROM (CD-ROM), digital versatile discs (DVDs), other types of optical storage devices, or magnetic cassettes.
  • a non-volatile memory including a flash memory, a read only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), a magnetic disc storage device, a compact disc-ROM (CD-ROM), digital versatile discs (DVDs), other types of optical storage devices, or magnetic cassettes.
  • EEPROM electrically erasable programmable ROM
  • CD-ROM compact disc-ROM
  • DVDs digital versatile discs
  • each configuration memory may be included in the plural.
  • the program may be stored in an attachable storage device that may access through a communication network such as Internet, Intranet, a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), or a storage area network (SAN), or a communication network configured with a combination thereof.
  • a storage device may access to a device implementing an embodiment of the disclosure through an external port.
  • a separate storage device on the communication network may access to the device implementing the embodiment of the disclosure.
  • components included in the disclosure are expressed in the singular or the plural according to the presented specific embodiments.
  • the singular or plural expression is appropriately selected for the presented situation for convenience of description, and the disclosure is not limited to the singular or plural components, and even if the component is expressed in the plural, the component may be configured with the singular, or even if the component is expressed in the singular, the component may be configured with the plural.
